Fascinating so far. It's set after a GM-food/fossil fuel apocalypse, so in a way it's very 19th-century steampunk despite being set (I think) in the late 22nd century, as technology has basically had to start all over again from the point where we discovered oil.

Also, the cover art is beautiful. Link below.

After that I will see what I feel like, but Throne of Jade (the second book in Naomi Novik's Temeraire series) will probably feature somewhere.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

In case you're wondering, it's "Ba-chee-ga-LOO-pee" (Italian).
